Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The right triangle above you can use SOHCAHTOA and determine that tanθ =
y
x
. Replacing tanθ with 3 you get
3 =
y
x
3x = y
Then use the Pythagorean Theorem to
x2 + y2 = 252. Replace y with 3x
x2 + 9x2 = 625
10x2 = 625
x2 =
625
10
x =
25
10
= 7.9
Since,
y = 3x
y = 3(7.9) = 23.7
x ≈ 7.9; y ≈ 23.7

Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x be the number
Write it out: -26x - 22 = x - 90 Combine like terms: -27x + 68 = 0 Subtract 68 from each side, so it now looks like this: -27x = -68 Divide each side by -27 to cancel out the -27 next to x. It should now look like this:
